Announcing a Serverless and Azure Functions AMA!
We are very excited to announce a Serverless & Azure Functions AMA on October 29! This is the third in a series of AMAs around Azure, all held here in the Tech Community in this discussion space, coinciding with the Microsoft Azure Hack for Social Justice event. Upcoming dates/events are below: November 5 - App Services & Static Web Apps The AMA will take place on Thursday, October 29, 2020 from 9:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. PT in the Azure AMA space. Add the event to your calendar and view in your time zone here. An AMA is a live online event similar to a “YamJam” on Yammer or an “Ask Me Anything” on Reddit. This AMA gives you the opportunity to connect with cloud solution architects who will be on hand to answer your questions and listen to feedback.6/8 - Low Code Application Development AMA announcement!

Monte Carlo Simulations using Durable Azure Functions
Apologies, this question is rather general as I still need to get around prototyping this, but you experts may have a good feel for whether it's feasible or not, and where issues may crop up 🙂 Azure Batch is typically mentioned when searching around for running Monte Carlo simulations in Azure...but in terms of PaaS, would using the Fan Out pattern in Azure Durable Functions be a feasible approach?
Execute Azure Function using ADF activity and AAD Login
We are trying to execute an Azure Function (HTTP type) using Azure Data Factory (ADF). The Function App has the App Service Authentication set as "On" and the action to take when request is not authenticated is set as "Log in with Azure Active Directory". If we have this configuration in the Function App, is it possible to execute the Azure Function from ADF? We configured the Azure Function and Active Directory App by following this documentation: https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__nam06.safelinks.protection.outlook.com_-3Furl-3Dhttps-253A-252F-252Fdocs.microsoft.com-252Fen-2Dus-252Fazure-252Fapp-2Dservice-252Fconfigure-2Dauthentication-2Dprovider-2Daad-26data-3D04-257C01-257CFelipe.Rocha-2540microsoft.com-257C3e259ade08c043f75b0908d87b8bce47-257C72f988bf86f141af91ab2d7cd011db47-257C1-257C0-257C637395187680813277-257CUnknown-257CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0-253D-257C1000-26sdata-3DaLtqA0RLT-252BnOQgzRvpO3-252FBHymas6xDVnCjtNg-252BLTPn8-253D-26reserved-3D0&d=DwMFAw&c=eIGjsITfXP_y-DLLX0uEHXJvU8nOHrUK8IrwNKOtkVU&r=6PBUmFEROSKfIVB29NY06e8Dp-dqEFIr6V8Pn_TTogM&m=2xNcTOHFliLYWEEUfrAbIYlhonao8kIgcQ1S3dP6kyI&s=87sJjlggshqh-zIdTp1NjIVjCOkX3R0es972xbuL3A8&e= We aren’t using a web app and maybe that’s the confusing part when trying to follow the steps from the documentation. ADF is the one that needs to authenticate when trying to access/execute the function. Do you know anything about this type of configuration?Durable Functions calling "normal" Functions
Are there any plans to widen the set of calls that Orchestrator functions can call without having to consume compute time? As I understand it, and I may be wrong, currently if a call is made to a standard Azure Function it would need to be via an HTTP endpoint and would be treated like any other request. Even if it were executed async, the orchestrator would still be running for the time the external function took to complete. Instead we need to use Activity Functions. However, Activity Functions run in the same App Service and so are effectively in the same scaling container. Ideally we would be able to move work off to some other App Service without having the orchestrator continue running. Is this possible? Or am I misunderstanding everything! 🙂
